6654 1958-05-23 London Paddington
Rare visit of a '5600' 0-6-2T to Paddington
Standing at the end of Platform 5 under the Bishop's Road Bridge, probably after working empty stock from Old Oak Common, Collett '5600' class 0-6-2T No. 6654 (built 8/28, withdrawn 6/65) allocated to 81C Southall shed is the rare visitor. Most of the Class worked in South Wales, a few elsewhere, but only the odd one was brought to the London Division (in the mid-fifties), none to 81A (Old Oak Common).
